Animal Care
Seizures, Syncope, Collapse, Oh, My!
Friday started out normal enough. Angie needed flea and tick medicine, Belle graduated from the puppy plan, Molly got booster vaccinations, Leo needed a nail trim, Baby needed bird food, and then Liset, the cat, was in for a swollen eye that really was...
Cough
Franco recently sent me an email to ask what medicine he should use for a cough in a dog. Franco is the animal assistant at The Big Fix in Uganda where I volunteered for a week last fall. Franco and Dr Arnold and I have kept in touch about cases since I...
Dental Care

Killdeer
I see them every day, this time of year, on my way to work. Most mornings, I stop in a church parking lot for a few stolen moments before the hustle and bustle of veterinary medicine and surgery. There is a pair of killdeer that play on the pavement....
Vet Life and It’s not just a vet life
Stress Relief
Sometimes it feels like it still should be May. Sometimes it feels like it should be 2021 or maybe 2022. Even practiced introverts like me are starting to feel the stress of social distancing, uncomfortable masks and this parking lot thing we have called curbside...
Special Patients
It had been a rough week! In addition to the COVID inefficiencies and the rising temperatures of the weather and clients, I had to put two of my favorite patients to sleep. While I love all animals, I don’t think there is any question that Labrador Retrievers are near...
COVID Week 7041
I think we are entering our 14th or 15th week of curbside service in this COVID 19 period. I thought it would be interesting to see where we are now. Curbside service is harder for us, there is no question about that! In pre-COVID days, you would call or text for an...
